"which group of irrational racist zealots would you rather hang out with?"
Strikes me that the only correct answer to that question is "neither".

Are you suggesting that the STPRO and 24th don't contain any irrational and racist zealots?

For the purposes of deciding what not to include in a selection of cheeses, they might as well be. That's beside the point.
The point is that of course both militias DO contain their share of irrational racist zealots, as do the FDU and TLF. And given that Desiderya's implication was that you transferred from the STPRO to the 24th so as to get away from the, quote: "ex-Provists and assorted madmen", my point was that this approach is rather like swapping beer for wine. Different though those two drinks may be, they'll both still give you a hangover.
although that's maybe not a toxic enough analogy. Let's compare... hmm... strychnine and a ball of enriched uranium. Wildly different though they may be, prolonged contact with either one is not a good idea.

Your opinion would be an entirely valid criticism if I had in fact thus accused the entire 24IC.
Which I didn't, any more than Desiderya - sarcastically or not - accused the entire STPRO of being ex-Provists and madmen.
Although I will note that your corporation's departure from the Protectorate has incremented that proportion a little closer to 100%.

You're doing that thing again where you say something which bears no relation to the point being made and then act like you've won.

If it was a private conversation, you'd be having it in a private comms channel. The IGS' status as a public discussion forum means that it's not "others' conversation" it's merely a conversation in which I have not yet ventured an opinion.
In any case, it's not about my being right, it's about your being intellectually dishonest. I see bullsh**, I call bullshi**. Harden the frak up.

I agree that all Kameiras are slaves: the factors that make them slaves involve more than simply having been born to it.

I grew up with tube-born: The creche was full of them. I don't remember it ever being a source of tension or difference.
Gestation is, after all, a much less formative experience (except in the literal, physical sense) than upbringing.
